Swedish Iron – an engineer has compared to an Armadillo – Crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle.
Metaltech have been making a component for 15 years from Swedish Iron. Initially it was manufactured on a Fixed Head Lathe, then they moved to Sliding Head technology.
With the ongoing desire for efficiency and cost control they needed to find a new solution to ensure optimum production performance. Along cam Citizen Machinery UK and their new LFV technology.
A few points from the video;
- Swedish Iron is an extremely difficult material to work with
- The non-guide bush option means no grinding of the bar is required
- 30% cycle time reduction
- Improved cutting tool life
Just a few of the highlights from the video, watch, learn and enjoy...

It's not just videos that MTDCNC offers to our users, we promote used machine tools for sale, new machine tools for sale, ex demo machines and also related equipment, such as cutting tools, including end mills, drills, countersinking tools, shell mills, radius tools, boring tools, reamers and much more for both milling and turning. Beyond the cutting tools we also offer the accessory solutions, these include the Workholding, vices, 4th axis units, collet chucks, 3 jaw chucks, bar feeds and toolholders. Toolholders is an interesting one as this could be one of many differing toolholders such at BT40 tooling, BT30, HSK 63 and then for turning VDI 30/VDI 40 toolholders.

The cemented carbide that Sandvik Coromant uses comes from our customers, who make revenue by selling us their worn inserts and round tools.
Regardless of origin, we purchase the tools at the going market price.
We leave recycling bins at your premises. You fill the bins. We retrieve them with certified green transports. You bill us.

Disclaimer:
These videos and commentary are intended for entertainment and inspiration. Woodworking and metalworking is dangerous. Always seek professional advice and training before using any power tools or CNC machine. If you have any uncertainty before performing any DIY procedure, stop and learn a safer method. Understand that there are years of learning and experimentation by me that are not in the videos. Do not attempt anything simply because you saw it in one of my videos.

Silent Tools is the trademark for a family of tool adaptors for turning, milling and boring. The tool adaptors are designed to minimize vibrations through a dampener inside the tool. The majority of Silent Tools customers’ use these tools for long overhangs however, even with shorter overhangs, large productivity increases and surface quality improvements are to be gained.

Knowing what is happening inside the component is a challenge when doing internal turning in slender components. By displaying when the tool is in cut or not on a dashboard, the operator can easily get a sense of the machining. Thus, time when the machine is running without the tool in cut can be reduced.

The temperature of the damping system is displayed on the Silent Tools™ Plus dashboard, enabling operators to monitor that the system is not damaged due to heat.
This can be based on the machine tools or a tablet.
